its superior facilities for escape in case Of

jump of $50 feet before the face of the
earth could possibly be reached, and then
there was galvanized wire clothesline and
maroon woodpile to let you down easy.

EDWARDS BATH TUB.
Maj. A. w. Edwards, editor and pro-
prietor of the Fargo Daily Argus, has built
new three-story block of red brick Oh the
site of the moth-eaten establishment that
burned down several months ago I was
was conducted through the new establish
ment last night by Managing Editor Plum
ley. and l found that in point of conven-
! fence and elabOrateneSS of finish it was
| superior to any newspaper Office in St Paul
or Minneapolis now occupied. In the old
building the majors private Office looked
out on a livery stable with the front yard
usually full of mules. This bothered the
major considerably, especially when he
wanted TO write poetry. 1t sort of knocked
the inspiration out of the major when toy
| ing with the muse to have his attention d.
verified BY the Oratory of q ll-blooded
plymouth Rock mule. In the new build
ing ne has his office as far as possible from
the livery stable. It is so arranged that he
has an unrestricted view of Mr.. Plumey,
who is as much OF a puetcal inspiration as
the ordinary run of green trees, waving
fields and meandering rivers. The most
interesting feature of the new Argus
| building is Maj. Edwards bath tub,
which was built especially for him. 1t is
what is called a nOiSelesS tub, has buttons
up around the neck and has hoe attach
ment. The tub when in good condition has
! about three hundred gallons capacity.
This affords the major ample room to dis
port himself without stopping the water
through the armholes. The tub was put
in by the Northern Pacific Refrigerator Car
company, and is the only one of that pecu-
nx-fa ~, fo,
the majors use during the infiamed
season of the year, to enable him to keep
perfectly cool. calm and collected while be-
ing interviewed by heated citizens who
have figured in his personal column. Once
in the bath-iub with it buttoned closely
around his chin, he is quite safe from in
suited citizens who are idiotic enough to
think that they must object to an editor
saying what he has mind to about them.
The major will not represent his paper at
Bismarck during this session of the legiS-
lature, fact that is greatly regretted by
the readers Of the Argus. At the last
session he was on deck with all
sail set, and the letters that he wrote to the
Argus were considered very clever in the
journalistic world. This year Mr.. Plum
ley, his managing editor, will do the legis-
lature and some good work. trimmed with

FARGO'S REPRESENTATIVE.
Fargo will be represented in the council
by DE-. II. Galloway, one of the oldest and
most respected citizens in Cass county.
The doctor is Democrat of the old IRON
bound style. and while rot politician is
man who thoroughly understands the laws
Of political economy. and will represent his
district honOraply and with great deal of
credit to the people who elected him. DR..
Galloway has been located in Fargo for
years. and though he has not practiced
widely the past three years. he is the
WideSt-known member of the medical fra
ternity in the Red River country, and he is
consulted as a sort of divine oracle BY the
younger members of the profession. Rather
| eccentric in his ways, q modest dresser and
man OF advanced years, he will make
conspicuous figure i'll the council. The Of
! fee was thrust upon him. He did not want
it. but the people wanted him and they got
him. His wife is now in Europe visiting
her daughter, the wife of Dr. j. II. Spald-
ing, leading dentist, who formerly prac-
ticed III Fargo, but changed two years ago
to Berlin, Germany, where he is making
wide reputation for himself as an expert
| tooth carpenter.
